let's continue where i left off.. hmmm, patho exams. so after some rather useless lectures and us ponning, we had our CHP (community health project) meeting, haha. more work. yes, then it was dinner with weili and nick, albeit an extremely rushed one cuz of the jam at orchard!! grrr, and so, we were late for the movie, national treasure. i must say it was quite enjoyable despite the ridiculous ending! haha.. the villain was not v convincing - he certainly wasn't evil enough. but the movie was far from boring..

after the movie nick and weili came over to my place for some halo 3 and guitar heroes 3.. fun-nest esp since new HD TVs arrived so we could play on the 47' glorious screens compared to the previous 32' or sth. after which zp joined us, and we just played random games, getting owned by nick in halo, but then, nick was getting owned in guitar heroes, so well, alls fair.. ;) zp and nick stayed over, as i ponned sch the next day :p we need a break rite?! and yes, we finished the last 2 stages of halo on legendary, and the cough i had developed prior to patho turned into a sputtering mess due to my lack of slp, and what's worse, i am sputtering more than ever now. i feel like i can cough out my lungs soon if this keeps up.

yes, and then came friday! after more meetings and what not, weili, ian and i went to biopolis for lunch. chanced upon this indian restaurant tt was rather value for money. even though i have no idea what most of those dips were, well, some of them were fairly tasty. all this for like $5? i think. haha.

and then after dinner, zp and i and weili went over to nick's place for some PS3.. haha, i am quite inept at fifa, except perhaps at fouling. haha! but yes, it was quite exciting nonetheless.weili left at one. after one was some cards, its been a long while! there was a long and exciting game of hearts, where zp was desperately trying to kill me, but thru trickery and shooting the moon, his hopes were shattered :p but soon, it was breakfast at 3.30am and off to the airport! and then at 5am, jonas (nick's brother) finally pried himself away from nick sadly so that he could go into the gantry. haha, it was a long nite, but well spent. and gee, me having to wake up early for tennis the next day was disastrous, the continued lack of slp probably did this to me.. :(

on saturday or sunday (i can't quite remember what i've been up to), i think i went out to catch the movie eastern promises after some tennis. i liked the film! but then again, i like the director's productions. it was semi glory, although yihan, yuan and cm seem to think it is far worse than tt, but yes, the characters were well fleshed out, and i like that you had to think in the movie, interpret, rather than just sit there and watch. after the movie, went over to yihan's place for really long games of spades and hearts. spades was torturous due to SOMEONE's lousy bidding, and it was such an incredibly long tussle. grrrr. hearts was just sad because someone was lousy and trying to protect the lousy person failed and proved costly in the end.. :( well, at least i managed to aid yuan to triumph over cm eventually :p yes, yet another late nite, contributing more to my state now. sigh.

think this was monday? uh huh, after sch, we headed down to wild rocket at mount emily for some rather delicious food! :)





this was my starter for the set lunch - pumpkin soup. done quite well, but nothing special..

these golden crispy mushrooms drizzled with melted cheese however, were so much better and were absolutely juicy!! :D

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

kenrick's main... salmon.. he was pressing it to show me how the juices were oozing out. lol! but nah, salmon is overserved!

my chilli crabmeat linguine! YUM! the linguine took up the thick tomato stripped crabmeat paste so well, and every mouthful was delightful. however, it was really rich for a tomato based pasta!

michelle's soft boned pork risotto - i love risottos, and this looked quite good, but sadly, i didn't get to try it :p

evange's pasta.. i forgot what this was, but it was a good mix of seafood and it smelled heavenly

ian's spinach cream pasta.. it tasted, really creamy!







desserts! yummy..

deconstructed oreo and strawberry cheesecakes :)



pandan flavored panna cotta..






the same flower that marmalade pantry uses :P


ok, that is enough food pix for a while.. :p eh, i feel sad that i can't remember what else happened the rest of the week other than work - looks like i need this blog more than ever since my memory is deteriorating faster than ever :X ok, whatever, after the pilot survey etc, we got down to dinner with wp and claire at dempsey. wp wanted to go there since her dad was teasing her abt her lack of hipness, having not been there b4. we wanted to head down to au petite salut, but it was just fully booked! so instead, we headed down to la fabrique, an italian restaurant. the decor was interesting, with a really high roof and interesting graffiti art on the ceiling!

the food was not bad.. this was wp's squid ink pasta with lobster - you bet tt it cost a bomb!

my pappardelle, with some sorta duck was really good.. :) loved the sauce and the duck was almost as tasty as my fav duck confit! :D



after dinner, craving for some dessert, we headed down to canele at paragon and ordered damn a lot of food! 2 cakes, 4 macaroons, an ice cream and a big ass meringue.





the desserts were all v good, except maybe the meringue which was just way too sweet! arrgh! haha. otherwise, although a lil pricey, they were fantastic :) the chocolate cake was rich and soo chocolatey! and till now, i've not really had v nice macaroons and always had the impression that they were hard biscuit like things, till i tried these..! fantastic.. :)
